THE PROPOSED RAILWAY,
II Would More than Pay for Itself the
First Year.

IL Would More than Pay for Itself the
First Year.
1t is doubtful if any proposed rail-
way ever had better promise Of pay
ing business than the proposed HALEY
aud Gold Belt railway. A is we'll.
known, railway makes business, and
even long lines, built through sparse
ly settled regions, soon reach q pay
ing basis. But short lines are always
the most profitable, always pay better
for the capital invested; and the Gold
Belt Railway will not prove An ex-
csption o'this rule.
Its principal source of revenue will
of course, be the transportation OF
ores. These are of two classes, to.
wit: milling ores, and smelling ores.
The quantity of the latter brought to
HALEY for sampling and sale must
increase enormously the more the
country is developed; but of the for.
mer class the quantity brought to
HALEY will depend upon the reduc.
ton facilities afforded. If water mills
that can reduce free ores for 81 or 81
per ton are constructed here, then all
the Gold Belt ores will be brough,
here for reduction. If no mills are
built here, then no Gold Belt ore will
be brought here, unless it be test lots
of high grade.
With smelling ore, however. the
case is different. That must be brough,
to Wood River for sale in bulk; and
it will seek the shortest and chea pes,
road to market. This must be Wis
the Gold Belt.
If, a. is probable, a mill or mills ar.
built here, then, at the present stage
of development, the following dali,
freight traffic could be relied on from
the opening of the road:

THE RED MAN.
The Utes Preparing for the Strug-
gle-Sheriff Kendall's Fight
With Hostlles.
A Mother and Daughter Suicide
and Die Together-Other
Events.

DENVER, August Whatever may
have been the cause of this Ute trouble,
and whether it was justifable, the fact
remains that there is trouble ahead, and
it will only be averted by the hasty return
of the renegades to their reservation.
The state authorities have gone too far to
retrace their steps, and the Indians have
given no sign of their intention to
retire.
Sheriff Kendall started from MeekerWed-
nesday with nine men to locate the In
dams, whom he found in camp near the
old Thornburg battlefield. They were
too smart for him, how
ever, and got in his rear.
After stubborn fight, in which four of
Kendall's men were wounded and three
horses killed, the party succeeded in es-
Gaping, bringing their wounded to Meeker.
This was the first white blood drawn in
the conflict. Couriers were hastily sent to
Glenwood, who met company of fifty
well-armed volunteers from Aspen on the
road, and the latter party fastened for
ward. Information was conveyed, also, to
General West, at Glenwood Springs, where
troops from Denver and other points are
encamped. This morning mounted men
left Glenwood for the front with posi-
bility that they may encounter the Indians
on the road.

Proclaimine the League I.

ST.. LOUIS, August 20.-A special dis
patch from London says: A great sensa-
ton in political circles yesterday was
caused by the announcement of the
proclamation of the Irish National league
The tory ministry believe that all of their
losses in the recent elections have been
oceasioned by their weakness in making
concessions to liberal unionists. They
will therefore make no more, but will
rather throw their associates Overheard
and go to the country on the issue of q
vigorous policy toward Ireland. 1t is moi
expected that measures consequent on the
proclamation of the National league will
be at first general. 1t is anticipated that
they will only be applied in certain sec
tions of Ireland, where the "plan of cam
paign" has been maintained, or where
crime has been present.

sWINDLING THE GOVERNMENT
The Payment of Taxes by National Banks
at Washington, D. G.

The Payment of Taxes by National Banks
at Washington, D. G.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-Quite stir
has been created in official circles by the
publication of a letter addressed to the
commissioners of the District of Colum-
bia by R. A. Fish, assessor of the Dis
trict, in regard to the payment of taxes
by national banks of the city of Wash
ington. From this letter it appears that
these banks have never paid dollar into
the treasury of the District, though the
assessment list shows that 100000 per
annum has been due for the last twenty
four years, making an arrearage of nearly
$75O,0O0, not including interest and pen
alties under the law. Mr.. Fish enters into
details, and very naturally asked the
reason why, on entering into the office,
to which he had been only recently ap-
pointed, he finds these taxes unpaid.
The commissioners referred this letter
to the attorney of the district, who, being
absent on leave, his assistant and son-ln-
law, Mr.. Davis trumped up proceedings Of
an alleged test case, which is said to have
been put-up job of some eight years
ago. Proof of this assertion is shown lin
fact, that the attorney OF the district, Mr.
Riddle, did not carry the case to the su-
prene court of the United States, where
the Judgment of the lower court, in the
opinion of many, could have been re-
versed. Every effort has been made to
have Riddle turned out of Office. He is
particularly offensive to democrats in the
district. The commissioners have been
appealed to by prominent residents of
every section to make change in that
Office.
Not only the national banks have es-
lped, but all banks and banking firms
have been able to stave off their taxes.
This can be said of all railroad, steamboat
and all large corporations of the district
1t is very easy, under the circumstances
to understand the high price at which
shares are quoted in the Washington pa.
pers, when these institutions pay no taxes
and thus have advantage over their tax
paying fellow countrymen, in paying high
dividends and piling up large surplus in
great part due to long continued and
highly successful swindle of the govern.
ment by escaping payment of taxes legally
| and morally due.

The Books Have Disappeared and Cannot
be Found--Sharp Practice.
NEW YORK, August 20.-The assignee
of VIM. N. Cromwell, of the firm of Henry
s. Ives d Co., obtained from Judge Don
ohue yesterday afternoon an order to COM
pei the three partners in the firm to APP
pear on Monday in the court of common
pleas and explain what became of the
ledger, cash book, security book and two
blotters, covering the year 1886 and the
early part of 1887. The firm opened the
new books on April last, and the assignee
has been unable to obtain the books re-
ferred to from the members. They pro-
TESS not to know what became of them.
They are important, because, although
the books in use since
April l, appear to be straight, there is
nothing to show that they were begun on
a correct basis. The clerks make affidavit
that all books were in the vault on Mon
day, August 8, about the time the Cincin-
natl creditors arrived from the west with
Ives. 1t is said that the assignee threat
ems Ives and his partners with arrest, if
they do not produce the books, but they
positively declare they know nothing of
their whereabouts.
Assignee Cromwell this morning said to
a reporter he was sorry that anything had
leaked out concerning his action in pro-
curing an order of the court to compel
Ives & Co. to produce certain miss
ing books. He said certain brokers
grasped at every possible feature of the
Ives case to influence the stock market
and he had, for that reason, all along
avoided giving out any information which
could be converted into a sensation.
1.-THE statement now nearly completed
is made" he said, "from the books as they
exist. These are complete set carefully
kept, and connected story of the large
transactions"
Mr.. Cromwell would not state what The
missing books were, but said he woult
make his statement of the affair in court
Monday morning.

A Noted Case.

UTICA, N. Y, August 2O.-The general
term of the supreme court, setting at
Utica, this afternoon, handed dowAa de-

deceased, and also, in the matter of the
estate of Jennie M. McGraw Fisk, de-
ceased; Willard Fisk and Joseph McGraw,
and others, appellants, VS.. Cornell uni
versity and Douglass Boardman, execu-

lower court was reversed on the ground,
that Cornell university, at the date of the
death of Jennie McGraw Fisk, had reached
the limit of its charter, and was not en-
titled to take or hold any property, and
the funds given it by her will, and the
proceedings are RENTED to the surrogate

Anti-prohibition Republicans.

DIES MONIES, Ia, August 20.-The mass
meeting of anti-republicans was held last
night to nominate independent candi-
dates for the legislature. About 1875 we'll
known republicans participated. A. B.
Cummings, one of the leading republican
leaders of the city, and Adam Baker, al
derman at large in the city council, were
nominated as legislative candidates, on
the platform pledging them to sup
port all republican principles
except prohibitions; to vote for a
republican for the United States senate
to support the repeal of prohibition ant
the enactment of local option and higf
license laws. Some seven hundred repub
lican names are signed to the pledge tC
support these nominees. 1t is said thu
democrats will ratify the tickets.

Newspaper Moved-Local Items.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNETT, August 20.-The committee
appointed at the alliance meeting at
Waco visited the places suggested to the
meeting as the most suitable for a cotton
factory, and on yesterday, after returning
from Marble Falls, declared their inten-
ton of reporting to the Central committee
in favor of the Falls as by long odds the
best location and power for factory. 1t
is also stated from good authority that
the railroad will be pushed through to the
Falls as soon as the central committee
make known their intention of giving the
factory to this county.
The Bertram Nutshell, edited and
owned by Col. j. B. Fonda, has left its
birthplace and come to Burnett. 1t has
taken quarters in the Blue Front, on the
north side of the public square, and on
Friday evening raised the biggest kind of
dust around the heels of the Bulletin and
Hero offices. We wish you success, Colonel
Fonda.
Judge R. W. Gates and family have
gone to Lampasas springs for short
recreation. They will be away week or
ten days.
On Friday evening about p. m, Bur
net and vicinity received one of the
heaviest rains we have had this year. 1t
will be of immense good to the stockmen
in the way of bringing up the grass and
filling the creeks and water holes. Be-
sides, it will be of considerable benefit to
the cotton.

STILL IN JAIL.
A Grand Jury Investigating Senotor Rid

A Grand Jury Investigating Senotor Rid
dleberger's Recent Escape.
New YORK, August 2O.-A Woodstock,
Va, special says: in the county court yes
terday special grand jury, consisting of
nine men, with E. j. Adams as foreman,
investigated Senator Riddleberger's Jail
delivery of last Saturday morning. After
spending the entire day in secret session
and examining seven witnesses, they
brought in indictments. One was against
the following parties: John Ludwig, Mil
ton Cooper, William Dergers, Joseph
Hoffman and Charles Ruby, of Edin-
burgh, the former home of the senator,
and L. M. Hosseur, of this place, charged
with being leaders of the mob who rescued
Riddleberger. Another indictment was
made against Deputy Sheriff Hattel for
misdemeanor. Hattel, who was staying in
the same room in the Jail with Riddle
berger when the mob came and demanded
the keys and then pried the door off,
offered no resistance, though armed.
What will come of the case is not known,
but the general opinion here is that no
one will be convicted. Senator Riddle
berger is much better, and it is expected
will return to Jail the first of next week,
and serve his remaining three days.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE.

A Mother and Daughter Cut Their Ar
teries, Bleeding to Death.
NEW YORK, August 2O.-A disgusting
stencil has filled Tenement No. 81, Charles
street, for the past few days. The smell
came from the second floor, occupied by
Mrs. Melvina R. W. Payne and her daugh-
ter, Anna M. On Monday last the women
had been seen closing up the shutters, and
it was thought they had gone into the
country. This forenoon Mr.. Hammann,
owner of the house, got out on fire es-
cape and peered through the shutters into
the women's room. He saw both women
lying dead on the bed, which was bespat-
tered with blood. Maggots crawled over
the sheets. Horror stricken, he burst
open the doors. The women had been
lying dead since Monday. A razor and
empty laudanum bottle were on the chair
beside the bed. Half stupefied by poison,
probably, and insensible to pain, the
women had cut the arteries at their ell
bows and ankles and bled to death, locked
in each others arms. Death had unloosed
their grip and they lali side by side,
facing each other, when found. Letters
on the table beside the bed showed that
they had carefully considered the plan OF
suicide, and decided to die together
The envelope containing the letters was
so soaked with blood that the address
was almost illegible. The police made it
out to be Miss N. A. Weed, No. II West
Twelfth street. Miss Weed is the daughter
of the late Thurlow Weed and the Paynes
were known to be old friends of the Weed
amily. The letter said:
"Miss N. A. Weed, Dear Friend-If

THIRTEEN REPORTED LOST.

The destruction of the steamer City of
Montreal occurred on the 18th inst, five
days after she left New York. A boat con-
tanning six passengers and seven members
of the crew is missing. The occupants of
this boat are the thirteen persons re-
ported to have persisted. She had 42O
passengers on board.
| The passengers and crew of the City of
Montreal were taken off the York City by
the tug Mount Etna and landed at Queens
town. All were accounted for except
thirteen persons in the missing boat. II
is learned that shortly after the passen-
gers had gone to bed on the night of the
10th, the ship being in latitude 430 north
at the time, they were aroused by the
alarm of fire. A scene of CONSERVATION
ensued, and the passengers were greatly
terrified when they found out the true
state of affairs. The smoke caused by
the fire was suffocating. The passengers
dressed and got on deck as quickly as pos
sible, and with but little appearance of a
panic. The fire originated in the after
main hold. Nine streams of water were
soon working on the flames, and the
course of the vessel was shaped towards
New Foundland, 400 miles distant. The
flames spread with great rapidity, and
soon had burst out with terrific force
through the midway and after matches
the heat being intense. II became evident
that it was impossible to save the ship
and momentary panic ensued.
Boats were lowered and the passengers
and crew got into them. The boats soon
scattered and one entirely vanished. This
contained the two stewards, two seamen
and seven passengers, and there is but lit
tie doubt that the whole boatload per
ished. The boat did not contain full
crew, and left the City of Montreal against
the captains orders, as there was time to
take many more in it. Other survivors
consider the fate of the occupants of the
lost boat as judgment for their
cowardice.
The boats were eight in number ant
consisted of four life boats and four pin
nacles. These were launched and stocked
with provisions. The flames spread will
great ferceness, and efforts to quoncl
them were soon found futile.
At 8 O'Clock in the morning the passen
gers we're marshalled on deck preparation,
to entering the boats. Many of then
were weeping, but on the whole they wer,
quiet and orderly. Family groups pre-
scented a sight pitiful to see, as they hud
died together in fear and trembling
There was heavy sea run
ming, and il was with grea
difficulty the boats were kept from beint
swamped. The crew worked splendidly
and all the passengers were placed II
boats In a comparatively short time
How the boats foated with their heav,
loads is miracle. As the last boat wa
putting of from. the ship, several OF thu
passengers and crew were seen aft. Thel
had been overlooked, and were screaming
TO the boats to return. They were subse-
quently rescued, half dead from the effect
of smoke and heat. The masts OF
ship were seen on the horizon
